I found this today at 4 inches or less. I thought it was a penny – showed around a 78 on the AT Pro. Not only is this my oldest silver coin, it's the oldest coin of any kind that I've found. In fact, it's three years older than the county where I live! Was pretty excited about this one!

You are a fortunate dog! I’m not gonna say “lucky”,as luck doesn’t exist. And wherever you found that thing,you’d better SCOUR the entire area for as long as you have!
What a find,just incredible! Holed,worn and beautiful!

Sweet. Not only did you get your first half-dime, but you did it in style by skipping the pesky seated type, and went straight for the bust type
